Technical Abstract

An embodiment relates to a method for operating a transmitting user equipment (TX UE) for performing sidelink communication in a wireless communication system, the method comprising the steps of: receiving, by a TX UE, a power saving (PS) signal transmitted by a base station; and on the basis that the power saving signal indicates not performing skipping during an on-duration period and the TX UE has traffic to be transmitted to a receiving UE (RX UE), transmitting the traffic in at least a part of an SL on-duration period by the TX UE.

8 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

3

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein a destination RX UE scheduled to receive the traffic is indicated through a traffic indication message.

4

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein a bitmap and a SL power signal (PS) RNTI are mapped to (SL PS RNTI) modulo N (where N is the number of bits of a traffic indication bitmap).

5

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the SL PS RNTI is allocated when the TX UE establishes PC5 RRC connection with the RX UE.

6

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the traffic indication message is transmitted at a first subframe starting from the on-duration period.

7

7. The method according to claim 1, wherein a start point of a sidelink DRX on-duration period is configured to be identical to a start point of a Uu DRX on-duration period.

8

8. The method according to claim 7, wherein a SL DRX cycle and a Uu DRX cycle are configured to be identical to each other.

11

11. The device according to claim 9, wherein a destination RX UE scheduled to receive the traffic is indicated through a traffic indication message.

12

12. The device according to claim 9, wherein the UE is configured to communicate with at least one of another terminal, a terminal related to an autonomous vehicle, a base station (BS), and a network.
